Into Film champions education and career development through film
LONDON, 24 June 2025: The UK’s film future was centre stage this afternoon as Into Film, the UK’s leading charity for film in education, announced the winners of the 2025 Into Film Awards at a star-studded ceremony at ODEON Luxe Leicester Square. Hosted by d/Deaf actor, presenter and author Rose Ayling-Ellis MBE, the event honoured the most inspiring and original short films created by young people aged 5-19 from across the UK.
With support from across the UK film industry, this year’s ceremony was attended by industry heavyweights and celebrated acting talent including Hugh Grant, Eliza Gonzalez, Andy Serkis, Sharon Horgan, James Norton, Elizabeth McGovern, Lennie James, Olivia Cooke, Gurinder Chadha, Sally El Hosaini, not to mention, Into Film trustees such as Barbara Broccoli and Eric Fellner reflecting the deep commitment the sector has to nurturing the next wave of storytellers.
The nominated films addressed bold and pressing topics such as mental health, AI, neurodivergence, multiculturalism, identity, and the pitfalls of social media- powerful themes tackled with extraordinary authenticity and creativity by young voices whose perspectives are often underrepresented.
With high-profile ambassadors including Sir Kenneth Branagh; Lashana Lynch; Eddie Redmayne; Jack Lowden; Amma Asante; Lynwen Brennan and Jamie Dornan, Into Film continues to bridge the gap between classroom and cinema and champions the next generation of film industry talent from every corner of the UK.
